Zishku is a fluid world with oceans of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, or hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids.

• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Mimu Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.

Description (Planetology)

Zishku is a high gravity world with an exotic atmosphere consisting mainly of nitrogen gas.

• There is a minimal percentage of oxygen, roughly equaled by the combined mix of other more exotic atmospheric gases.
• The surface temperatures are close to normal but unusual pressures and environmental conditions create nitric acids, which fall as rain on some areas of the world.
• The shallow oceans are made up of liquid water and the poles are covered by small icecaps.

History & Background (Dossier)

The population is almost entirely Human and comes from a wide variety of backgrounds.

• Zishku is divided into a bewildering mixture of ethnic and religious groups, many of whom are further divided by differences in their language.
• Some of the more powerful have staked out countries for themselves while the smaller groups live in their shadow.
• Tension in such an environment is inevitable and brushfire wars on the world are common.
